Charles....here is some stuff I came across while using PPPOE...dunno if
it's bugs or, what...
First of all, I would like to know how high up in the scrips is the
EXTERNAL_IP configured..?
Because when using PORTFORWDING with INTERN_POP3_SERVER etc......the folling
happens..
If I do EXTERN_DHCP=NO, when INTERN_XXX_SERVER is on, IPCHAINS spits out,
some messages stating that he can't find internal server, this is
Because the EXTERNAL_IP is not set some where in the NETWORK.conf
When I look at this line
eval EXTERN_IP=\"\${"$EXTERN_IF"_IPADDR:-""}\"
I assume this is where it's defining the External IP if DHCP is not = YES,
but at this point in time PPPOE is not yet RUNNED to get the External IP, so
therefore IPCHAINS starts complaining..
I don't know if it's really necessay to say EXTERN_DHCP=YES is needed for
PPPOE since it's not USING DHCP, I confirm that we still get an IP
If this setting = NO....i do believe maybe the PPPOE scrips should be run
some where before the ipfilter.conf is run..
The DHCP scripts does this by giving some BOGUS ip addres for EXTERNAL so
that IPFILTER don't start complaing...
Check this out is see if it's possible to make some changes, or do we HAVE
to choose keep the DHCP setting = YES...
Next I find a little bug in the IPFILTER.conf.....
if [ -n "$INTERN_POP3_SERVER" ] ; then
$IPMASQADM portfw -a -P tcp -L $EXTERN_IP pop-3 -R $INTERN_WWW_SERVER
pop-3
fi
If we take a good look at the above lines......we are using the if statement
on $INTERN_POP3_SERVER, but on the below line
We are portforwarding it to the $INTERN_WWW_SERVER and the pop-3 protocol...
Please do confirm on the above, let me know, if I'm not seeing correctly of
if these are indeed some minor GLITCHES..
Cheers
